54 use of riATiorjAL PAREt IfflEHffi Growing Popularity of Play grounds Welcomed by Those jn Chargb Reviewing the use of America's national parks.ff P. Kanej. editor nesorta and riaygrounds or Tcsi, believes that It might h ot interest -co note the pinions of ttte departments In charge of our great national playgrounds, both as to the use now being made of these 'reserv atlon and to the opportunities open tp those from the Increasing crojwds in the more popular sections of the parks. -jn spite of ; the problems cre ated bv the great number of visi tors," said Mrj Kane. "the direc tors of these governmental! depart- -.-iments re qule definite In their V5f 1 opinion ana sirongiy. myur iue V J constantly growing interest ori'the iA part of the public. In the volume Picturesque Am ira: Its Parksj and Playgrounds, from which the following quota tion are made. W. B. Greeley, chief of the United tSates Fores try Service, writes as follows; The very magnitude I of 1 the . r I 1 army or vacation Beepers which invades the national forests every summer through a' thousand far flung gateways precludes any highly organized regime if recre ation. Nor would it be in keeping with the spirit of free and un hampered use of these -public playgrounds. Nnt 'only should the door stand wide open, but there should be an open-handed invita tion to all within reach to enjoy the forests with the greatest pos sible freedom! from restraint- or red tape. Tojbe sure the Influx or summer visitors brings its dif-. ficulties and hazards of -forest fires and the danger-of . unwhole i some camp grounds. Hut ft would be unthinkable 'to meejt: ' these problems In a negative land re pressive way by fencing he pub lic out literally or otherwise. The ! health and' recreation to be gained from 'the national forests are too vital- to the American people to be curtailed." Their opportunities ; .should bei advertised.' not conceal ed. We should. Indeed.' ut j into the highways and byways and compel the. city-weary . ifolk to come in. i ' j. ! "After aH. the finest i prod net of a national forest is not,lumber, water power, forage or game, but the deep., lasting, patriotic rever ence and love j,ot. country which comes from intimate acquaintance with its mountains. Its streams, its trees. ..Is Jt. any wonder that k'l&.OOO, 000 people each year ans- tjr the call of the national for ests?" Writing of the r.oee.rftranmial I visitors to 'thaj national v parks, t Stephen. T. Mather.; director of na tional park service, directs 'atten tion to the many opportunities for first-hand study of the natural sciences In the national parks. "That the national ''parks are making a tremendous appeal to the American people la demon- f strated by the increasingly large i Dumoer or people visum g them and by the ever-growing tendency on the part of park -visitors to seize the opportunities offered for the study of. the natural sciences. No longer are -people content merely to view the beautiful, or spectacular, or awe - inspiring works of nature contained In the parks and then go on their way unthinkingly, as was the case a few years ago; now they want to understand the various forces of nature that combined to bring these scenle features Into exist ence. They realize that greater understanding means deeper en joyment." : In the national parks of the United States and Canada there are and probably always will be "regions of distinguished scenery ncrowded for those to whom the fullest enjoyment of nature, means isolation j from crowds of mere sightseers." as Robert ' Sterling Yard writes of one of our best known national parka. , ' . . Writing of the many out-of-the way sections In his own Canadian national parks, J. B. Harkln, com missioner, says: "Oh. no man truly, knows the spell of the mountains until he has turned his back on the tourist ways, left the hotels and the par lor cars; cast aside- the very habli ments of convention, has mounted his horse and gone oat to seek for himself the secret which, from of old. had been locked In the silence of far spaces. j k ' r U IMOJ I ' 1 :.vKTitiO : Or 0$ Declie t Hendricks Insnramcei of All Kfnds tB9 North nigh Tel.

United State ambassador to Belgium, is one of the few American diplo mats who has ever sailed ': under sealed orders." When Ambassador ' and Mrs. Gibson left New York City the state department was undecided whether he should go to Geneva? In his capacity as American ob server to the League of Nations, at that time In "session, or to Brus sels to take up his ambassadorial duties.

Prior to his appointment as American representative in Brus sels Gibson was' minister to Swit zerland. .- ; CLAIMS THAT PR0HI TO BLAME WRONG (Continued from Page 1,) seizure by the Revenue authori ties In New York of an assorted lot of Scotch whiskies, -cordials, and fitters, j These counterfeits, it was asserted, had 'been shipped to the eastern market by a bogus liquor factory which has offices in West Washington street, Chi cago. At the office of the firm which is accused of selling the bogus liquors emphatic denial was made that the firm had any knowledge of the seizure. A moment later it was said that the' firm was con ducting an investigation. "But why should you Investigate?" was asked. "You know nothing &bo.ut the seizure and have nothing to investigate." ' r - Admits Knowing of Seizure "Well, we did hear of the seiz ure," admitted one of the pro prietors of the place. "West Washington street was mentioned so we just thought we'd Investl- Few reputable, wholesale liquor houses and saloons . would deny that the Chicago market was flooded by drinks such as were detected and, confiscated by the New York ' Revenue officials. "Imagine the worst state of af fairs, then double It and you will not half comprehend the decep tions practiced." was the some what paradoxical way one dealer put it. , - The dealer in question has been Involved recently in suits to re- coyer money from some of the drink, counterfeiting establish ments. "The laws are lax. We are unable to prosecute success fully the men who Infringe on our goods." was the statement of a representative of perhaps the largest wholesale house In the city. Wholesalers Largely at Fault One of the' most outspoken of the liquor dealers was Joseph T, Keane. "The decention extends to every line "of goods,," herald. rtA' dealer's' greatest trouble now adays is not to get customers It is to keep them. Some whole salers who are the loudest in their boasts of fair dealings are the worst offenders." Alderman Michael Kenna was among those who deplored the tendency to substitute bogus liquors for ; established brands. "A common ' way of counterfeit ing," he said, "is to Imitate the label so closely lhat it will fool the customer, but not the saloon keeper. This class of deception fs Intended for the cheaper class of saloons where the proprietor has littl at stake and wants to make a flashy showing."

The valley of the k.ittle Colorado is I notable for the variety of its coloring in this vicinity-and most of the vivid hues are caused by varl-colored stones ind pebbles. . Mrsrhsmith and her husband Joseph E. Smijh, a musician, dis covered about two -years ago that the stones and pebbles could be pulverized to yield more than a hundred shades of fine Band. Ex periment with the sands and wet concrete led to the production of the rock pictures. Mrs., Smith is a trained artist having painted with oil colors on canvas for many years. She dis covered that she could apply the sands to a base of wet concrete to ahieve a picture which had the general appearance of a tapestry The first mosaic rock picture, . a landscape, was finished some six months ago. Her productions since include still-life, marines, animal and des ert scenes wherein pale moons casting silvery lights on yellow beaches and white-capped surf, storm clouds roll across blue skies; and sliikicg coyotes add a touch of life to the barren brown hills ,of Arizona.
